I've been a host to hazy days There's been a slew of sleepless nights I've been a selfish man Damn near everyday of my life Mixing up the rights and wrongs With a half a livin' singin' songs I tell you man It's more than I can stand But it's hardest on my wife Bounce around through the years Drinking down a tide of tears I wish that I could say There was a measure to my ways Have my battles with rage A hungry lion in a cage Sometimes I wonder If I'm just best left on this stage I can barely see tomorrow Through the crowd and through the lights Yet I manage to burrow Deep inside my head tonight I've been wrestling with a pen To find the words to say again What seems so clear in my mind But a blank page wins most every time I've been this way for so long Mincing words with every song Don't know if I'll ever change Or if it ever goes away Mixing up the rights and wrongs I can barely see tomorrow Through the crowd and through the lights Yet I manage to burrow Deep inside my head tonight The path back is all uphill And I find me climbing still No matter how I fall She picks me up each time I call And I'm sure as hell to prove That all the pride has been removed Broke down lying in her arms Mixing up the rights and wrongs I'm broke down in her arms Mixing up the rights and wrongs
